A K-drama that actually K-drama'ed after a long time!!
Every character is written SO well, and I mean so damn well!! You know an author is good when you can't even hate the "bad" guys and root for the greater good for everyone involved.Every character, interaction, arc, just everything made sense. It was all intertwined like life often is: and is it NOT easy create such a remarkable story with loveable characters. Kudos to the author fr.
There was not a minute that was boring, I was glued to the screen the entire time wanting to know what happens next. Even the most mundane things were interesting and when the showed the purpose behind every little details.. WOW!!
And not just the story.. the actors, direction, cinematography, music, EVERYTHING HIT!!
Everyone did so well; I laughed with them, cried for them, cheered them on. And I'm still so invested, I can't to find out what happens next. I noticed many elements that they might play on in the next season and I can't wait to tune in!!

BEST DRAMA 2023...HANDS DOWN!
I went into this with many expectations...a lot...and this drama met all , and then some.I've always liked fast-paced action-packed films...and knowing how Koreans take it to the next level with the fighting and the gore, I was super excited to start this film.
I would have loved some more parent time... especially with Kim Dooshik, but oh well. I'm just happy they didn't kill him.
People who deserved to get hurt got hurt and redemption arcs went to people who really needed them...aka the giant bear from N. Korea...
The last time I was this invested in a couple's story and relationship was with CLoY and now I have new parents...their chemistry was giving, and I hope they get more screen time if there's going to be a season 2.
Lastly...the plot holes
-why didn't Bongseok graduate?????
- Why isn't he with Huisoo..,
-and why the fuck is Ganghoon trying to join the sick organisation?????
-What is the issue with the dude Ganghoon beat up? What really happened to him?
I was thoroughly entertained and got even more thrilled when I saw the announcement about season two cause quite frankly ...the ending wasn't it, not entirely.
The story didn't get a perfect 10, cause of the ending.
I don't even remember the OSTs
Acting was top-tier!
So should you watch this....Absolutely! You can't not watch this!

Meu deus a disney finalmente lancou uma coisa BOA~
❤️ BONGSEOK & HUISOO ❤️ . Simplesmente o melhor do ano meu deus nao tem jeito!! comecando pelo cast tipo? Só os gigantes e até os atores rookie foram divos DEMAISSS! Nunca imaginei minha mae Hyo Joo fazendo papel de mãe tao cedo mas nossa senhora brilhou dms nela (ela c aql oculos senhor). Os efeitos PERFEITOS! Na verdadenao tenho oq reclamar, moving foi incrivel do início ao fim, me prendeu de um jeito e me deixou tao obcecada na historia e neles. Fiquei bem mals com a história do super humanos do norte :/ eles nao queriam aquela vida mas não tiveram escolha :( O final o grandao que se cura ficando c a huisoo e c o pai dela chorei dms. só me doeu muito que o reencontro da familia foi bem rapido ou seja quero minha segunda temporada semana que vem.Was this review helpful to you?

THE BEST KDRAMA EVER
I still need some time to process everything but I had to jump on the hype train and write this review just to share how amazing Moving was.The storyline, the plot twists, the time transitions were all executed in such a professional and perfect way that mostly no other kdrama has been able to hold from start to finish.
The chemistry between all the cast was off the charts. The main characters grew way too much on me. It was so interesting to see Lee Mi Hyun in this role. Loved how all the parents played as much of an important role as their kids.
The ending clearly leaves an open space for a 2nd Season that I would happily welcome.
I think the reason we connect so much with Korean Dramas is because no matter the genre, the writing and the plot in general gravitates towards a human orientation which makes it easy for the viewer to connect with the characters.
Will for sure write another review later on after I watch it for a 2nd time.
Thank you to each and everyone of the cast, who made this possible! 감사합니다

A Rare Gem Among Korean Dramas – Nothing Else Compares
I don’t have any specific memories tied to this show, but every time I think about giving Korean dramas another try, this one pops into my head—and honestly, nothing ever comes close to it. It’s ruined me for other K-dramas.It’s weird how every other review out there gushes about the chemistry between the main leads—like, I get it, they work well together, but can we talk about the actual story? You’re watching a drama, not a couple’s vacation vlog. And here’s the harsh truth: most K-drama stories are trash, with pacing issues that make you wonder if they lost half the script halfway through production.
But this show nailed every aspect—acting, pacing, depth, relationships, friendships, and of course, the legendary production quality. Every scene, every shot, just feels perfectly crafted. It’s rare to say this, but I think this drama can hold its own against some of the best Western series in terms of overall quality.
If I had one complaint, it’s that I wish there were more episodes. A little more time spent fleshing out the backstory and maybe giving us a glimpse into the characters' future would’ve made it even better. But still, this is as close to flawless as it gets.
If you're looking for K-dramas with substance alongside entertainment for everyone, this is the gold standard. Good luck finding anything else that measures up. I’ve tried—and failed. (A bit of disclaimer I do not like dramas that has random and unnecessary actions and random ups and downs and also I actively avoid sad and emotional dramas so I have definitely missed out on a few. But that does not mean those are bad and also better than this drama)

EVERYTHING you could've ever asked for in one drama
if you're thinking of watching moving, just do it! the storyline and characterization is WONDERFUL. found myself rooting for all of the characters through every plotline, but i was particularly drawn to the ML's parents'. moving's receiving of the baeksang grand prize in TV is absolutely deserved; truly is one of my favorite kdramas and in general, tv shows of all time.Was this review helpful to you?
Solid storyline and solid acting
First thing first, i want to appreciate the acting in this drama. Of course i know it would be good because most of them are senior and A-list actors, but i also want to give a big applaud to the young actors. Younjung, dong ha and do hoon really nailed their characters here, the acting was solid. I don't even see any 'gap' when they act with the senior actors and i think that's a good thing. They don't overreact or doing too much with their face expression, and the reaction from one dialogue to another is flawless, because to act is to react.The directing in this drama is fantastic, and the plot is very well written imo, it doesn't lost it focus by adding too much romance, it just right.
One of my favorite scene is when hee soo fighting the girls with mud all over her body, the acting, the details, and directing there was *chef kiss*. Go younjung once again convincing me that she's a good actress and can take any roles that given to her.

Under Rated & My Fav
as a fan of k-drama I just happened to discover this magnificently wonderful drama. The pormtion for this show was lacking, like when & where was this show promoted. Had I not stumbled across Moving I would have missed one of greastest shows in K Drama History. it’s got everything you need the story line,the plot, the cast was phenomenal, & graphics (visual effects) made me wanna be a superhero too. I hope they make a sseason 2 I can’t wait..Repeated

AMAZING
Probably one of the best super"hero" shows I've ever seen. This puts the MCU to shame now. The characters are fantastic. The story is well written. The visual effects overall are well done. If I had one complaint, it would be the flashbacks all happening at once instead of being spread out through the show and it going back and forth between the parents and kids. Still, it was great. Supposedly this will have other shows connected to it and I hope they are as good as Moving was.Was this review helpful to you?

I enjoyed the exposition of each major character's story, particularly that of Kim Bong Seok's and his mother's. Han Hyo Joo is one of my favorite actors and I thought that Lee Jung Ha did a great job. I loved the way that the writer teased out the connections and tensions with the more minor characters, which made me care about the minor characters almost as much as the major ones. So far so good. But the drama went downhill for me during the climactic battle scenes between the superheroes. The battle seemed like just the usual over-the-top but predictable superheroes battle. The "surprise" plot twists were emphatically not. Argh.Perhaps I would not have been as disappointed had my expectations not been raised sky high as a result of the earlier episodes as well as by praise from reviewers everywhere? I kept hoping for one of those "I did not see that coming" moments. Maybe it will come in the sequel, in which case, I might reevaluate this review.

Moving was......MOVING!!!
DISCLAIMER!!!I may have some serious biases lol because, in my opinion, this is the BEST kdrama this year. Fight me on this!
The whole premise of MOVING revolves around the children of 3 former ANSP agents and 1 father who is madly protective of his son. It basically dives into their backstory and what their life was like prior to becoming parents. How they were taken advantage of and have gone into hiding in order to prevent their children from not being used for selfish gains like they were.
Shows that tend to focus on the children of people with superhuman abilities most often tend to graze over the parent's backstories and just hyper-focus on the kids which isn't necessarily a bad thing. With MOVING, I love the special attention to not only the parents, the children, or the agency but also the enemies as well. We got backstories and explanations for every angle of this story. I commend the writers and directors on this cause this is something that's hard to execute without losing the main plot and straying far ultimately losing the attention of viewers and confusing everyone in the process. The shifting/time jumps in each episode felt natural and didn't feel rushed or cause confusion. And even when a plot line/time jump wasn't explained in the following episode it didn't cause any confusion and was picked up in another episode and tied in perfectly with the situation happening at that time.
I'm patiently awaiting season 2 because the writers have a lot of explaining to do.
1) YoungTak and his time-stopping power. Who is he? Why did he transfer in his senior year? Did they know about his power? Who are his parents and did they work with the ANSP? so many questions to answer.
2) Who tf is that girl that walked into YoungJoon's office? Is she the true brains behind that operation?
3) Naju's daughter. Her death had to be faked. Where is she? What happened to her truly and did the ANSP track her down?
4) Frank. Is he actually dead?
5) KiSoo. who is he really? How did his injury happen and why does he know about those with abilities?
6) That new guy in the last scene. What slimy shady selfish reasons in the name of 'protect and serve our country' is he gonna do now?
7) Are there more people with abilities?
So many questions that season 2 needs to answer and I can't wait.

Tbh I’d have liked this more as a 12/13eper 60mins instead, I mean half the eps would end in cliffhangers that just picked up later like two annoying continuations
What I liked, fl in the past, the red shirt dad and the poor tall dude
What I hated, the kids and the time wasted on them, the villain story was stupid like even one “special” person could’ve just said “no we’re not listening to your stupid rules”, the constant back and forth between different characters and different backstories
there were flashbacks in flashbacks and suddenly a new character comes and they get a flashback too
the romance was cheap, the things that dragged out the final was stupid and literally it was as if a switch turned on and poof the years of “not doing anything” ended and bang the end is perfectly wrapped with a bow
